Enugu Bride Price Akwunanaw - Is Too Expensive by Mightyodi: 9:12pm On Apr 23

Good evening, nairaland, I recently found a lady in Enugu and I courted with her for a while and intend to take the relationship to the next level. I started the movement and obtained the list. The items were too much. For example, palm wine is about 400 litres, the alcohol is about 20 crates, 25 litres of oil and other items. Please if you are from Enugu, akwunanaw precisely, why do the insist on Kgbankwu marriage by inviting the whole community. While don't they make it family to family, something not that elaborate, especially when the economy is tight. If you are from there and vast with their marital rite, please I need your assistance. Drop your comments and possibly your number. Thanks

I am only replying your post because you seem confused and lost.
Are there no elders in your family who will guide you on this journey?

There's nothing like an expensive marriage list anywhere in Igbo land as no man have ever been denied his bride because he was unable to provide all the items in a marriage list.

That list given to you by the girls family is to measure your maturity level and not a test of wealth. The way you are fidgeting about the items on the list doesn't portray a man who is matured enough for marriage. Anyways, I hope you the pass marriage list test.
I won't say more than this

Yes, I am an Igbo man from Enugu State with a Traditional Title, I know the culture and traditions.
The maturity I talked about is not age, it is the kind of maturity that a man needs to have to be able to lead a home.
Honestly, i dont mean any disrespect but if you have that maturity you won't open this thread to seek for advice from strangers on how to start your home.
As for my contact, i don't think I'll be doing that, I'll still advice you to talk with the elders in your family, they should be able to guide you accordingly. If in any case you don't have relatives who will accompany to the girls family just forget about the marriage they wont give you their daughter.

Oga go sleep.
It is too much.
The barbaric culture of greed.
Tell me why a family will connive to make it hard for their own daughter to marry
Why should a man have to worry this much.
20 crates of beer as per brewery.
Rubbish.
Same thing with burial.
That is why our women are not respected by the men.
I wonder the function of umunna to a city boy or gal if not for burial organization.
Now a city gal wants to marry a group of umunna will now sit down and want to make greedy demands.
The women family become so useless in the whole show.
At the end the man will be angry on his wedding day
Why won't it. Even billionaires will get angered
Because it shows a lot of greed. A family who come as leeches giving their daughter whom you will take care of
They will be sounding bold
Bro that is what is happening in the east and I totally hate it.

Marriage is a union not a business.
Greedy lots

Marriage list is like pricing stuff in the market
A seller might tell u 10k for a commodity nd u will end up buying it for 3k,it all depends on ur bargaining skills.
I personally have not seen where a man is refused a daughter by her family cox he couldn't provide everything on the marrige list.

That's y it's advisable to go with ur elderly relatives when u want to go nd collect marriage list,they will help u to beat down the price nd at the end reach a meeting point with the girls family

Nd OP,say them give u list of 400litres of palmwine no mean say u go rush come nairaland,u no get elderly relatives abi na we go help u bargain those items on the list?

[You have just shown nothing but ignorance of the Igbo culture and tradition with everything you typed.
In my initial post on this thread I asked the op if he has seen any man who came to marry a wife in any part of Igbo land and was denied because he was not able to bring the complete items listed in a marriage list given to him. The same question goes to you, do you know anyone like that?

That list given is a test....
If you run away after seeing the list....you have sent a message .
If you come in as a money bag and provide every item on the list..... you have sent a message
If you come back to the family complaining about the list...you have sent a message.
If you bring the items you can afford and plead for more time ...you have sent a message.
If you take the family of the girl to court for giving you an exorbitant list...you have sent a message grin

I won't be revealing how any of the above actions you take will be used
I won't be saying more than this.

Re: Enugu Bride Price Akwunanaw - Is Too Expensive by Mightyodi: 5:39am On Apr 24

Bro I have started negotiating, but they insisted on almost everything will remaining because they belong to community. I wonder why they have to put community items on the list instead of family items alone. Please what you thinking, I wish to know

There are few important things in marriage under law and customs;
1. Payment of dowry (pride price)
2. Handing your wife to the eldest member of your family present and you take her home and consummate the marriage.
3. Kola nut in Igboland is basic requirement in all celebrations.
4. Normal parental consent/s
5. Any other thing is PURE JAMBOREE
Pay attention to PURE JAMBOREE

Poor SW guys should marry their cheap girls and allow Igbos to marry their women.

What's the fuss in bride price list?

No amount is too much for an IGBO woman cos they are 'assets" to who married them.

They are very industrious,brings good fortune to their prospective suitors and rarely a liability,unlike women from other tribes that usually depend on men for survival.

Thanks for your reply. You may say I am not mature, but I beg to differ on your opinion Please sir, are you from Enugu, I will like to get your contact and ask you some few questions

When I got my list (Anambra though), I told my wife she shouldn't bother that I will finish everything. There are 16 crates of Heineken, few crates if Star, Guider, Malt and Minerals.

2 goats, 16 tubers of yam, 3 kegs of palm wine or so. I got them all, but I forgot cigarette and some few things and no one stopped me from going home with my wife.

I've lived in Enugu, and your list is not that much. Like someone mentioned earlier, no one will stop you from going home with your wife if you didn't bring them all, though, they'll ask of it and it may appear insulting.

If you have the money, do it all.

Finally, not bringing family issues and such a post of yours online shows a sign of marital maturity.
